UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Norfolk District Council is planning engineering and construction works to repair the substructure and pile bases of Cromer Pier. The project concerns two related work packages: pile encasement works and substructure repairs works. The Council expects these to be procured as separate lots, allowing contractors to pursue either package or both. The work will be delivered at Cromer Pier in Cromer, Norfolk. This is a construction project rather than a supply or routine services contract, and is suited to firms specialising in marine, coastal or structural repair works where the relevant experience covers pier substructures, piles and associated construction activity.

The procurement is at the planning stage and is being used for preliminary market engagement, not as an invitation to tender. The Council expects to run a tender with two separate lots and has indicated that suppliers may bid for one or both. It expects the contract period to run from 4 January 2027 to 30 June 2027. The estimated value is £1.3 million excluding VAT, or £1.56 million including VAT, for the procurement. Interested contractors are expected to confirm their interest by 7 October 2026 to receive introductory information about the pile encasement and substructure repair projects and to be notified when the tender is advertised.

This will suit contractors with practical experience in structural engineering and construction repairs on piers or other marine and coastal assets. Relevant firms are likely to include specialists in pile repair or encasement, substructure remediation, marine construction and the management of works in exposed waterfront environments. The separate-lot approach allows a business to prepare for either the pile base package, the wider substructure package, or both, depending on its capabilities and delivery capacity. Businesses should use the engagement period to review the project context at Cromer Pier, identify suitable delivery teams and supply-chain partners, and demonstrate directly relevant repair experience before the tender is issued.
